    How many hours should I study?

    Right now is fine. I suggest take a few days off doing absolutely nothing and get back into full speed. Rather than measuring by hours, maybe you should measure by how much you can achieve and make sure you study smarter ^_^

    Common question buuuut

    It is to my understanding that the BOS doesn't take only your rank but also the relative gaps between each rank. If you are only half a percent behind him then this actually may mean that your rank does not matter because the gap is very little. If you are rank 10 you won't get the 10th highest...

    Should I pick up 4U Maths?

    Highly recommend doing 4U :) I've had a couple of friends who were unsure about doing 4U at first but now it's like thank god lol. It's very rewarding and fun (not kidding lol it's become one of my fav subjects now), and also will make your 3U easier. You seem to be doing pretty well in maths at...

    Pros + Cons of memorising essays

    Your memorised essay is probably thoroughly edited and more comprehensive than if you were to write an essay for the first time, on the exam day, in time conditions. Memorising an essay might make you feel more prepared. But it won't prepare you for the unseen question on the day. Answering the...

    How do you study for maths?

    Same, I study for maths by doing textbook questions first, then progressing into HSC and past paper questions. :) Right now I'm having trouble in volumes so I'm trying to start from scratch from the textbook. For me personally, when I do enough "basic" textbook questions, my foundations become...

    Yeah, we did this in class and lots of people got tripped up too. My teacher recommended to redraw the diagram, because you can see it very easily after that.

    Getting sick during the HSC

    I've been sick a few times but usually I do go because I'm not that sick to warrant having to stay home. I got sick the week before exams, and I just went to sleep the moment I got home, took my medicine and I got better really quickly :) I recommend just taking care of your body, and try to go...

    Which section to do first in an English Exam?

    I agree with that. The short answer questions are generally marks that are easy to get anyways, so might as well get them over and done with. Personally, I also find that it's beneficial when I start with the easier questions first, so I can gradually get into the exam and get focused. Same with...

    How to improve handwriting?

    Hope this isn't a dumb question lol Has anyone else been in this situation? I have horrible handwriting and it seems to get worse every year. Recently I got a mark deducted in an assessment because my writing was unreadable.

    How to answer a 'to what extent' question??

    Yes, I would absolutely link all my points back to the Republicans. It is crucial that you keep referring back to your thesis. In the essay I am basically saying that not only did the Republicans fail, but their policies also caused economic dualism and weak banking system, hence ultimately it...

    How to answer a 'to what extent' question??

    Generally, 'to what extent' questions should be answered quantitatively i.e to a limited extent, to a significant extent, to the fullest extent etc. It is probably better if you don't simply answer the question with a thesis like "X was a cause for Y to the most significant extent." and instead...

    Silly Mistakes

    Try record the silly mistakes that you do into a note. Read through them before you do practice papers. That way you can be more aware of what you have to watch out for while you are doing the test. Sometimes silly mistakes arise from absent-mindedness. Pay lots of attention to detail. For...

    Is it hard to get a high ATAR with my subjects?

    Hi :) When I was choosing my subjects, I didn't really choose them with scaling in mind. I'm aiming for a 99.65 or 99.7 so I can do Law. I know it's possible to get any ATAR with any subject combination but I would like to know how hard it's going to be, and I'm getting worried because I don't...
